They Call It For Fabi, But Forget He's Playing Magnus Carlsen

I have watched countless analysis videos - never have I laughed so much watching chess; well played

[@epicchess2021]

Hahaha glad to hear

[@ajpdeschenes]

I'd like to be able to appreciate those games analyses... but I feel so terribly bad playing chess. I was good when I was 6 or 7 years old, but my dad stopped playing with me when I started to beat him. I'm 36, is it too late for me to really get at it and become somewhat good?

[@PatrickPlaysChess]

This is perhaps the best commentary. Ever. Not just on chess 😂

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks very much glad you enjoyed

[@JS_Precision]

I'm so relieved that the air quality is ok. I was worried a bit for the players.

[@epicchess2021]

There is one Nodirbek game in the first set of the semi finals, he just obliterated Wesley So in the endgame. That was so brutal

Only thing better than the commentary is the AIR QUALITY

Masterful control of air quality

[@Vendavalez]

2:45 I don't know how true it is, but people say that there was a time when taking a piece if it was offered was considered to be the gentlemanly thing to do, even to your own detriment. Not quite a rule, but definitely considered disrespectful not to do it. Now, I don't know of a lot of evidence for that. Under most common circumstances now, what is considered respectful is to put the strongest resistance possible while there is a fight to be had and what is considered disrespectful is to "sandbag" or to continue playing an objectively lost position. The one exception, and what I hypothesize to be the last remnant of the "old ways", is en passant. What kind of chess player are you if you don't take en passant when offered? How will your opponent know that they are playing against someone who actually knows how to move all the pieces if you don't demonstrate it at every opportunity? And not shouting "en passant" in your thinkest french accent while doing so? I don't know how I would react to being disrespected like that. I certainly would not accept a friend being treated like that. Why I think that would be deserving of a disaproving glare and, dare I say, a scoff!

Fabi couldn't handle Magnus' Norwegian Rakfisk + sour cream and onion afterburners - singing Fabi's nostrils and making his eyes water with the pungent salty fermented-fish aromas. Checkmate.

Hikaru and Magnus just take turns punking Fabi… he just doesn’t believe in himself when he’s playing those two… he had a +7 position and his time advantage was 6min vs 30secs 🙄🙄🙄

Oh yeah forgot to mention clock, crazy

[@blue_red_screen]

Didn't he beat nakamura?

[@jacofourie6353]

[@richardmccarthy9580]

First it was air quality…. Then you have to shout En Passant ! …. You have got me back into chess so much I actually watched the subsequent Armageddon match live….. but the commentary is just not in the same league as Epic Chess !

[@epicchess2021]

haha thanks very much glad you enjoyed

[@trentvlak]

Fabi chokes in short time formats against Magnus.

[@alphonseblackwood2930]

Magnus really pulled that draw out of his ass mate! Good show!

Yep, my whole chess career was ruined because I couldn't pronounce 'en passant' correctly...

[@luv2stack]

Dat thumbnail. If only..

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

I talked with Carlsen and he said he preferred the name "BOOMERANG OPENING" instead of the plow opening (for the H4 opening). (he said plow sounded too much like "blow" and he didn't want to be associated with something that sucks and blows. So BOOMERANG it is then.

[@Anon74D]

Plow sounds nothing like blow

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

@@Anon74D In norwegian it does. Just look at the words: BLOW vs PLOW. The only difference is a little line on the P to become B. So they are too close and people might get confused. With BOOMERANG there is no confusion and since he already accepted, it is now formally called the "BOOMERANG OPENING" (since the pawn is "thrown" away from the opponent, but comes back to haunt the opponent later in the game. Just as a boomerang is thrown away from the prey but comes back to attack him later).

[@stewiegriffin6503]

Fabiano lost at 7:00.. he was 6 minutes ahead on clock, and couldn't find knight h5, which was obvious. But maybe rural Norwegian really fartet . Who knows.

Ah sorry to hear! Just a bit of fun, sending up Airthings masters/the commentary that acts like air quality makes a difference to the outcome of games

[@Nobody-df4is]

Belly shots you say?

[@jaybingham3711]

So confused. Did MC really rip one? But then later it's said Fabi was rumbling? Then it's claimed farting mid-match isn't against the rules...butt is frowned upon (shouldn't that be browned upon)? And how can it not be illegal? That's as abusive af. It's not an insignificant thing. If you have to do it, you should be obligated to take the hit on the clock and get up to go do it away from the board. Forcing your opponent to contend with that comes with a huge hit concentration-wise. Until this gets properly addressed, it needs to part of everyone's gameplan to be prepped with this Hail Mary. Sound silly? It's really not. Nothing about this is acceptable whatsoever. Forget the fart. If nothing about shitting yourself is addressed by the rules, you absolutely should do exactly that if you're down and need a change of momentum. Who the hell is stupid enough to not shit themselves when thousands of dollars are involved? WiTaF is going on here?

[@epicchess2021]

Na I was only playing lol, sending up the air quality analysis

I don't know if anyone truly has the skill to cook one up and hold it in, only to drop it silently in a lost endgame. I mean - respect to anyone who can.
